This tournament began on January 19, 2016, and ended on April 13, 2016.[1] The winner faced the winner of the Apertura 2015 edition, Guadalajara in the 2016 Supercopa MX for the right to qualify as Mexico 3 to the 2017 Copa Libertadores.[2]

Veracruz won their second title after defeating 4–1 Necaxa in the final.

Participants edit

This tournament featured clubs from Liga MX who did not participate in the 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League (América, Querétaro, Santos Laguna and UANL)[3] or the 2016 Copa Libertadores (UNAM, Toluca, Puebla). The top 13 Ascenso MX in the Apertura 2015 classification table also qualified to the tournament.[4]

Tiebreakers edit

If two or more clubs are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:

  1. superior goal difference;
  2. higher number of goals scored;
  3. scores of the group matches played among the clubs in question;
  4. higher number of goals scored away in the group matches played among the clubs in question;
  5. best position in the Relegation table;
  6. fair play ranking;
  7. drawing of lots.

[5]

Group stage edit

Every group is composed of four clubs, two from Liga MX and two from Ascenso MX. except for Group 6 which only has one Liga MX club. Instead of a traditional robin-round schedule, the clubs will play in three two-legged "rounds", the last one being contested by clubs of the same league.

Each win gives a club 3 points, each draw gives 1 point. An extra point is awarded for every round won; a round is won by aggregated score, and if it is a tie, the extra point will be awarded to the team with higher number of goals scored away.[5]

Championship stage edit

The eight clubs that advance to this stage will be ranked and seeded 1 to 8 based on performance in the group stage. In case of ties, the same tiebreakers used to rank the runners-up will be used. In this stage, all the rounds will be a one-off match. If a game ends in a draw, it will proceed directly to a penalty shoot-out. The highest seeded club will host each match, regardless of which division each club belongs.
